00:02:57,040 --> 00:02:58,720
Speaker 1: got out and ran to my car and called my

00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:02,600
Speaker 1: wife and said, don't tell any buddy, But nothing came out,

71

73
00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:09,960
Speaker 1: A huge NASCAR fan.

74
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:11,080
Speaker 2: I'm just saying, yeah, I know, I got a picture

75
00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:12,760
Speaker 2: with him at a NASCAR race. I look so little

76
00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:16,840
Speaker 2: compared to him. Oh, unbelievable. Hey, second question before we

77
00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:20,360
Speaker 2: get to our special guest. A really good friend of mine, Lois,

78
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:24,240
Speaker 2: sent me a text and I need your opinion and

79
00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:27,240
Speaker 2: I need for you to help me find somebody for her.

80
00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:32,000
Speaker 2: She needs to have her master bathroom ADA accessible for

81
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:35,200
Speaker 2: her son. And she had somebody come out. We won't

82
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:39,720
Speaker 2: name names, but all she's looking for is an update, right,

83
00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:43,600
Speaker 2: And the people came in and gave her a quote

84
00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:48,400
Speaker 2: of like under just under sixty thousand dollars, which is

85
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:53,880
Speaker 2: like way higher than she had hoped. And she said, look,

86
00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:57,440
Speaker 2: all I'm trying to do is turn this bathroom into ADA.

87
00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:01,160
Speaker 2: And I know this other company is really high end,

88
00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:03,160
Speaker 2: but I'm not quite sure what to do now can

89
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:04,600
Speaker 2: you make your recommendation?

90
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:06,720
Speaker 1: And I said, well, let me talk to Bingo on it.

91
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:09,320
Speaker 1: What she's looking for is just a bathroom.

92
00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:12,600
Speaker 2: I've actually, I've actually been to houses where I show

93
00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:15,120
Speaker 2: up on a closing day. Yeah, because they can't they

94
00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:17,160
Speaker 2: can't get in the house, but they can't get into

95
00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:19,159
Speaker 2: the bathroom. So we'll actually open up the doorways and

96
00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:21,479
Speaker 2: stuff the day they close on the house so they

97
00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:22,919
Speaker 2: can get the use the bathroom, and then you know,

98
00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:24,840
Speaker 2: they we come back back the next day to start

99
00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:26,520
Speaker 2: making the actual doors store.

100
00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:29,120
Speaker 1: So I'm going to ask you right on the earth,

101
00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:30,760
Speaker 1: I'm going to ask you a favor. I'm going to

102
00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:33,320
Speaker 1: have Lois call you and if you could go out

103
00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:36,240
Speaker 1: and if it's not something you guys want to do

104
00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:39,920
Speaker 1: or can do, if you can make your recommendation for her,

105
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:44,599
Speaker 1: because I'm actually I'm a huge fan of hers. Our companies,

00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:53,679
Speaker 1: together and I get it. I understand why her company

158
00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:56,000
Speaker 1: is doing really well. And I'm a big fan of

159
00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:58,479
Speaker 1: first already, even though I mean we went to school

160
00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:00,960
Speaker 1: about a mile apart. Right. She went to Rufus King.

161
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:04,159
Speaker 1: I went to Mesmer Angela Allen. She's the president and

162
00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:07,840
Speaker 1: owner of Minute Men Press in Brookfield. It's so nice

163
00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:08,760
Speaker 1: to meet you. How are you.

164
00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:10,960
Speaker 3: I am doing great. Thanks for having me.

165
00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:14,480
Speaker 1: This is exciting, you know, and thank you for a

166
00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:16,520
Speaker 1: couple of talking points. I want to get to talking

167
00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:19,600
Speaker 1: point number three and it's really interesting. On the Varsity

168
00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:22,080
Speaker 1: Blitz show, the high school show I do next from

169
00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:24,360
Speaker 1: nine to eleven, we do a thing called the current

170
00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:28,120
Speaker 1: Electric Superhero of the Week, and it's all It has

171
00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:30,080
Speaker 1: nothing to do with sports. It has to do with

172
00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:33,000
Speaker 1: being really good in the class from very active in

173
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:36,360
Speaker 1: the school and that servant leadership heart. And I ask

174
00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:40,200
Speaker 1: these kids where that came from, because that's a learned behavior.

175
00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:43,760
Speaker 1: And looking at your background and looking at the talking

176
00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:46,800
Speaker 1: points and doing background on your husband and we'll get

177
00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:50,560
Speaker 1: to him in a minute. Your family, you guys believe

178
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:54,120
Speaker 1: in this servant leadership hard because everything you do is

179
00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:57,240
Speaker 1: helping and giving back to the community, and your husband

180
00:07:57,800 --> 00:07:59,880
Speaker 1: has been doing that for a long time. As well.

181
00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:03,320
Speaker 1: And I'm wondering where this came from for you guys.

182
00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:06,800
Speaker 4: So that came to me from I guess my family.

183
00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:10,960
Speaker 4: So like my growing up, my parents always were trying

184
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:13,680
Speaker 4: to better themselves, but they were also trying to help

185
00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:16,040
Speaker 4: other people do better. So, like my dad, neither one

186
00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:20,040
Speaker 4: of them went to college, but early on he moved

187
00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:22,280
Speaker 4: from the South. My mom's family moved from the South.

188
00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:25,040
Speaker 4: You know, there were the factory jobs, the jobs at

189
00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:27,440
Speaker 4: the breweries and that sort of thing. So it was

190
00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:30,120
Speaker 4: great opportunity. But they came here and then as they

191
00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:32,800
Speaker 4: did better, they were like, hey, let me help somebody

192
00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:36,640
Speaker 4: start this business, or somebody's working with the scholarship.

193
00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:38,160
Speaker 3: Let's give some money to the scholarship.

194
00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:41,880
Speaker 4: They were all about giving to the community, helping people

195
00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:44,800
Speaker 4: better themselves with education and that sort of thing.

196
00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:46,920
Speaker 3: And that's the kind of environment that I grew up in.

197
00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:50,640
Speaker 1: Man. I love that because again it's not something we're

198
00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:55,280
Speaker 1: born with, and that learned behavior of helping others. Would

199
00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:58,360
Speaker 1: I find talking to seniors in high school, Angela, when

200
00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:01,679
Speaker 1: I asked him that question, a lot of them say, look,

201
00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:06,839
Speaker 1: I didn't know how it would help me. I'm getting

202
00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:08,760
Speaker 1: more out of it than the people I'm helping. So

203
00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:11,960
Speaker 1: I keep doing this, and all of a sudden, you know,

204
00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:14,760
Speaker 1: from the time they they're a freshman high school time

205
00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:17,000
Speaker 1: they're a senior, now what they want to do with

206
00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:19,520
Speaker 1: their life is in that field. How am I going

207
00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:23,520
Speaker 1: to help other people because it helps me? And I

208
00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:26,120
Speaker 1: just I'm so amazed at some of these kids because

209
00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:29,520
Speaker 1: of that behavior and that learned behavior that somebody in

210
00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:33,680
Speaker 1: their life taught them. Now their their whole path on

211
00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:35,400
Speaker 1: what they're going to do in their life is be

212
00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:37,920
Speaker 1: able to help others. And and I see that with

213
00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:41,040
Speaker 1: every all the research I did on you, and certainly

214
00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:44,559
Speaker 1: your husband, who let's just talk about it if we can.

215
00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:47,640
Speaker 1: He is he is running for office right with the

216
00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:51,000
Speaker 1: mayor of Wakshaw, mayor of Waukeshaw, and good luck to

217
00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:53,360
Speaker 1: him on that. When is when is the election?

218
00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:56,480
Speaker 4: The election is April seventh, so it's I think for

219
00:09:56,640 --> 00:09:59,120
Speaker 4: Walkeshaw it might actually be during Easter break. So we're

220
00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:01,400
Speaker 4: like telling people get out and vote early, vote before

221
00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:03,680
Speaker 4: you go on vacation. If it's if that's the break

222
00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:06,439
Speaker 4: time for everybody. We have kids. We don't have kids

223
00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:09,040
Speaker 4: in school anymore, so we don't follow all the breaks

224
00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:11,040
Speaker 4: that they have, their spring breaks or Easter break. Many

225
00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:14,240
Speaker 4: kids have two kids, boys girls, two girls, and they

226
00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:16,760
Speaker 4: both they're twenty four and twenty seven now, which is

227
00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:17,360
Speaker 4: hard to believe.

228
00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:20,000
Speaker 1: Well are they in the market, are they in town?

229
00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:21,000
Speaker 3: They are?

230
00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:23,320
Speaker 4: Well, one just moved to Salt Lake City because her

231
00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:26,840
Speaker 4: husband works for the Utah Jazz Okay, so that's a

232
00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:28,720
Speaker 4: new experience, so it's exciting.

233
00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:31,000
Speaker 3: And then the other one is a singer songwriter.

234
00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:34,120
Speaker 4: And lives in Nashville and she comes here Ellie Allen,

235
00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:36,559
Speaker 4: let me give her a look for Elli dot com.

236
00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:39,439
Speaker 3: But she comes here like once a month to perform.

237
00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:43,000
Speaker 2: But she is a singer song We need to get

238
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:43,559
Speaker 2: her own jingle.

239
00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:44,720
Speaker 1: Anyways, she would love.

240
00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:48,640
Speaker 4: To write a jingle love to y for some of

241
00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:52,040
Speaker 4: her cousins who have a podcast, and they were like, you.

242
00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:53,199
Speaker 3: Need to make that a song.

243
00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:55,600
Speaker 1: What kind of music she does?

244
00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:57,720

Speaker 4: he does an Elvis song, she does some Carrie Underwood.

248
00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:10,680

00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:11,160
Speaker 4: for voice.

250
00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:11,880

00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:06,360
Speaker 4: to believe because it was like it was yesterday that

294
00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:07,240
Speaker 4: we got into it.

295
00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:08,360
Speaker 3: But it's funny you.

296
00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:10,600
Speaker 4: Say that about all that we can do because when

297
00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:13,800
Speaker 4: the opportunity first arose, we were actually going to help

298
00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:16,160
Speaker 4: a family member that had been downsized out of a job,

299
00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:19,880
Speaker 4: and literally my husband was talking to him and said, well,

300
00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:21,600
Speaker 4: why don't you look for a business. Maybe we'll all

301
00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:23,760
Speaker 4: go in together. We'll be the silent partners and you

302
00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:26,200
Speaker 4: can do it. Well, the family member ended up getting

303
00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:29,000
Speaker 4: the perfect job offer when we were two thirds.

304
00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:30,240
Speaker 3: Of the way through the process.

305
00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:33,360
Speaker 4: So literally we looked at each other, We're like, Okay,

306
00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:35,000
Speaker 4: what are we going to do with this. You have

307
00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:36,920
Speaker 4: your work that you're doing. I have my work that

308
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:38,920
Speaker 4: I was doing. I was doing mortgages at the time,

309
00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:43,520
Speaker 4: and we were like, okay, God obviously has given us

310
00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:45,960
Speaker 4: this opportunity. We were like, we were not looking for it,

311
00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:48,600
Speaker 4: but we said we were going to pray about it

312
00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:51,040
Speaker 4: and if everything helped moving forward, we were going to

313
00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:53,240
Speaker 4: just say, this is opportunity God gave us, and if

314
00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:56,080
Speaker 4: it works, then we're going to do it. And it

315
00:13:56,200 --> 00:13:58,800
Speaker 4: was funny because the location we ended up buying. This

316
00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:01,480
Speaker 4: is how it's all like, I do believe God's hands

317
00:14:01,520 --> 00:14:03,319
Speaker 4: was in this because the location we ended up buying

318
00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:05,400
Speaker 4: was not even on the market when we started.

319
00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:07,440
Speaker 3: The process really, yes, yes.

320
00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:09,680
Speaker 1: What was it? What was the location you were looking at?

321
00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:12,240
Speaker 4: Was you There were there were two, one closer to

322
00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:15,439
Speaker 4: like I think in the like Kenosha or the racing area,

323
00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:16,160
Speaker 4: and then one was like.

324
00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:17,199
Speaker 1: In Waukeshaw, Okay.

325
00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:20,400
Speaker 4: But we had checked both of those out and decided

326
00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:23,440
Speaker 4: not to move forward with with those two opportunities that

327
00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:26,200
Speaker 4: Mini Man Press franchise had at the time. But in

328
00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:28,840
Speaker 4: that we got to too or different locations. And a

329
00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:31,840
Speaker 4: week after we had decided not to move forward, the

330
00:14:31,880 --> 00:14:35,040
Speaker 4: owner of the Brookville said, hey, you know, I want

331
00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:37,040
Speaker 4: to exit out of this, and and the regional director

332
00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:38,160
Speaker 4: called us after the fact.

333
00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:42,680
Speaker 1: You know what, I'm reading an article you talked about

334
00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:46,520
Speaker 1: why minute Men Press and why that made sense to

335
00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:49,720
Speaker 1: you and the amount of research you guys did, and

336
00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:52,920
Speaker 1: and I was really impressed with with some of the

337
00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:55,160
Speaker 1: things you had to say about them as a corporate

338
00:14:55,240 --> 00:14:59,400
Speaker 1: and why you would buy into Minutement Press, and you said, look,

339
00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:03,080
Speaker 1: it's just organization, the company that believes in helping all

340
00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:03,400
Speaker 1: of us.

341
00:15:03,560 --> 00:15:04,160
Speaker 3: They really do.

342
00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:07,480
Speaker 4: So when we decided to move forward with it and

343
00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:09,840
Speaker 4: everything did work out, one of the things we noticed

344
00:15:09,880 --> 00:15:13,280
Speaker 4: right away were just the quality of the family that

345
00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:16,600
Speaker 4: owns Men and Man Press International, So it's third generation

346
00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:20,520
Speaker 4: and it's literally like the president, to just give you

347
00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:22,960
Speaker 4: an example of it, we have we have reached the

348
00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:24,800
Speaker 4: point where we're in the President's Club, so that means

349
00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:26,960
Speaker 4: we have a million dollar plus in revenue. So that's

350
00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:29,600
Speaker 4: a blessing. I always say, it is God's business our hands.

351
00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:32,520
Speaker 4: It's what it is, God's business, our hands. So we

352
00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:34,680
Speaker 4: are blessed to be there. But it's like even like

353
00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:38,960
Speaker 4: we get to go to these annual or bi annual meetings,

354
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:42,440
Speaker 4: so the President's Club or the World Expo, which is

355
00:15:42,440 --> 00:15:46,040
Speaker 4: what we have every other year. But for the last expo,

356
00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:48,520
Speaker 4: I get a message when I go into the office

357
00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:51,280
Speaker 4: and they're like, oh, Nick Titus called you, And I'm like,

358
00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:54,920
Speaker 4: Nick Titus called me, so he's like the present president

359
00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:58,320
Speaker 4: of the whole shebang, right, and I'm like he called me.

360
00:15:58,360 --> 00:16:00,480
Speaker 4: I'm like wondering, why is Nick calling me? But this

361
00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:03,440
Speaker 4: is how they are. They have you can just I

362
00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:05,360
Speaker 4: could pick up the phone and call him. They have

363
00:16:05,520 --> 00:16:08,600
Speaker 4: people who have worked there for thirty five, forty years

364
00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:10,920
Speaker 4: and now their kids are working for the company.

365
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:11,440
Speaker 1: Incredible.

366
00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:13,560
Speaker 4: So it's like when you start to see second and

367
00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:17,280
Speaker 4: third generations working for the same company and the people

368
00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:19,960
Speaker 4: who are the owners, they treat you just like your family.

369
00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:21,080
Speaker 3: I really do feel that way.

370
00:16:20,960 --> 00:16:23,440
Speaker 1: And think about this. We just talked about Shelby, who

371
00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:27,760
Speaker 1: is Bengo's granddaughter. Who is true. I love it being

372
00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:30,840
Speaker 1: the seventh I know that is amazing. And so when

373
00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:34,600
Speaker 1: people ask me about creative Construction Wisconsin, all you have

374
00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:39,040
Speaker 1: to say is, look, you know Sam and Zach. Sixth

375
00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:40,520
Speaker 1: generation is amazing.

376
00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:41,120
Speaker 3: I love it.

377
00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:43,240
Speaker 1: You don't think they know what they're doing. I mean

378
00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:48,280
Speaker 1: you have to do things correctly and build that network

379
00:16:48,360 --> 00:16:51,760
Speaker 1: of people that trust you like they have. And this

380
00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:54,200
Speaker 1: is what you know what you're talking about with Menet

381
00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:55,040
Speaker 1: men Prize, right.

382
00:16:55,120 --> 00:16:57,200
Speaker 4: And the other thing that I love is they are

383
00:16:57,240 --> 00:16:58,720
Speaker 4: there to help you as much as you need.

384
00:16:58,760 --> 00:17:00,760
Speaker 3: But they're not micromanus either.

385
00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:04,399
Speaker 4: It's like sometimes you here were like a franchise is

386
00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:07,720
Speaker 4: like a cookie cutter and you don't have any freedoms, right,

387
00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:10,280
Speaker 4: But really they're here to support us in any way

388
00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:10,680
Speaker 4: we can.

389
00:17:10,800 --> 00:17:12,760
Speaker 3: And it's funny I too.

390
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:15,320
Speaker 4: When we first learned about the business, thought, oh, yeah,

391
00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:19,439
Speaker 4: they do like business cars or they do flyers. And

392
00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:21,480
Speaker 4: then when we started to get into it. That's when

393
00:17:21,520 --> 00:17:24,240
Speaker 4: I was like, I couldn't believe all the different things

394
00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:25,560
Speaker 4: that we could get into. And then you can get

395
00:17:25,600 --> 00:17:27,399
Speaker 4: into niches, you know that you can do.

396
00:17:27,600 --> 00:17:30,960
Speaker 1: How did how long did it take for you to

397
00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:33,880
Speaker 1: start to understand the business and kind of slow down

398
00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:37,080
Speaker 1: a little bit and actually sleep through the night without

399
00:17:37,119 --> 00:17:39,720
Speaker 1: waking up in the middle going Okay, I need to

400
00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:41,720
Speaker 1: know more about this part of the business, in this

401
00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:43,920
Speaker 1: part because there's a lot to this.

402
00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:47,159
Speaker 4: Right and especially with it not being my background. But

403
00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:51,199
Speaker 4: what I learned is good people. Having good people like

404
00:17:51,359 --> 00:17:53,760
Speaker 4: being on your team and wonderful people being on your team.

405
00:17:54,119 --> 00:17:56,679
Speaker 4: So when we initially bought the business, I thought, oh,

406
00:17:56,720 --> 00:17:58,160
Speaker 4: I'm going to have to learn how to run all

407
00:17:58,160 --> 00:18:00,600
Speaker 4: the production machines. I'm going to need to all of

408
00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:03,720
Speaker 4: a sudden become a graphic designer, or I'm gonna need

409
00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:05,320
Speaker 4: to know how.

410
00:18:05,280 --> 00:18:06,879
Speaker 3: To fix machines and that sort of thing.

411
00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:09,159
Speaker 4: And so I would say probably for three years it

412
00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:11,800
Speaker 4: really was like I thought I had to know everything right,

413
00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:14,679
Speaker 4: and I had to let that go. I had to

414
00:18:14,760 --> 00:18:18,080
Speaker 4: just come to the realization that I need to have

415
00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:21,040
Speaker 4: people who are wonderful, who know what they're doing and

416
00:18:21,119 --> 00:18:23,840
Speaker 4: know their jobs and can do it well because I'm

417
00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:27,520
Speaker 4: more of the people person that I go out sells

418
00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:31,480
Speaker 4: marketing talking, helping educate people on what we can do

419
00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:33,360
Speaker 4: for them because people didn't know, Like when we bought

420
00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:35,760
Speaker 4: the business, people didn't know like, oh, we could help

421
00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:39,159
Speaker 4: you with some wide format so posters and canvases and

422
00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:42,040
Speaker 4: can do we can do mailings and we're a full

423
00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:45,359
Speaker 4: service mailhouse. Now we have a digital die cutter, so

424
00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:48,920
Speaker 4: we can do like door hangers and special stickers. And

425
00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:50,399
Speaker 4: it was like all of a sudden, it was like

426
00:18:50,440 --> 00:18:53,520
Speaker 4: this whole world anything that has printed on it, we have.

427
00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:54,240
Speaker 3: A venue for.

428
00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:56,679
Speaker 1: So one of my clients, kurrentl Electric, has wanted to

429
00:18:56,680 --> 00:18:59,919
Speaker 1: do doorhangers for a while. The problem is finding somebody

430
00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:03,080
Speaker 1: go out and actually hang the door hangers. And what's

431
00:19:03,119 --> 00:19:06,960
Speaker 1: interesting is we've been in these meetings and I came

432
00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:09,680
Speaker 1: up with the idea to find, let's find some youth

433
00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:12,560
Speaker 1: groups that are looking to raise some money. And the

434
00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:17,080
Speaker 1: problem is the areas that they wanted the door hangers

435
00:19:17,720 --> 00:19:22,679
Speaker 1: for for home generators and solar would be in areas

436
00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:27,120
Speaker 1: like the Lakes country, right, They're not looking to raise

437
00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:30,639
Speaker 1: money and like the areas that that youth teams are

438
00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:33,239
Speaker 1: doing car washes to raise money to go to an

439
00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:36,840
Speaker 1: AAU basketball tournament. Probably not the areas that they're going

440
00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:39,919
Speaker 1: to put solar on their house, right, And so I

441
00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:42,280
Speaker 1: if you know, if you can figure out what group

442
00:19:42,359 --> 00:19:44,159
Speaker 1: we can hire to do the doorhanngers a.

443
00:19:44,160 --> 00:19:47,280
Speaker 2: Lot of printing company, that'd be a great miss to say, hey,

444
00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:49,359
Speaker 2: because that's a lot of people. You know, you know,

445
00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:51,160
Speaker 2: there's a lot of people that do marketing stuff. That's

446
00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:53,320
Speaker 2: what they do. You said them up, I want to

447
00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:55,240
Speaker 2: do a postguard flyers. I'll make the postcoards for you.

448
00:19:55,320 --> 00:19:58,480
Speaker 2: They mail them, they can't get the target market for you.

449
00:19:58,600 --> 00:20:00,159
Speaker 4: That's the thing I was gonna say if they, if

450
00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:02,160
Speaker 4: they are talking about they should talk to me about

451
00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:05,080
Speaker 4: mailings because that we could do directly to where they

452
00:20:05,080 --> 00:20:05,520
Speaker 4: wanted to go.

453
00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:08,880
Speaker 1: And you know they're a mile from current lecture to office. Yeah,

454
00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:11,040
Speaker 1: right off one hundred and twenty fourth in burloc.

455
00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:12,560
Speaker 3: Oh, Yeah, that's right around the corner.

456
00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:14,760
Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm going to bring you over and introduce

457
00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:17,199
Speaker 1: you to Mariah and the people there to see if

458
00:20:17,240 --> 00:20:18,880
Speaker 1: we can figure this thing out. For sure.

459
00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:22,400
Speaker 2: Wonderful, yes, because that's because when they can do mailings

460
00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:26,000
Speaker 2: and they can specifically hit a target market. Someday if

461
00:20:26,040 --> 00:20:27,440

595
00:26:37,600 --> 00:26:41,240

Speaker 1: I don't know if you guys do this, but in

603
00:27:00,560 --> 00:27:02,439
Speaker 1: some of the other things that that that I do

604
00:27:02,560 --> 00:27:05,359
Speaker 1: through the mcgifferent agency, I mean, we could do a

605
00:27:05,400 --> 00:27:09,240
Speaker 1: demo of you know, houses one hundred and fifty thousand

606
00:27:09,320 --> 00:27:11,800
Speaker 1: and above or two hundred, and you could really start

607
00:27:11,800 --> 00:27:14,080
Speaker 1: to dig down to kids.

608
00:27:14,119 --> 00:27:16,399
Speaker 4: You could do like over certain age, you can do

609
00:27:16,440 --> 00:27:19,720
Speaker 4: over certain income, you could do professions. I mean really

610
00:27:20,520 --> 00:27:22,600

611
00:27:23,160 --> 00:27:26,480
Speaker 1: And I love that. And and the postcard thing seems

612
00:27:26,520 --> 00:27:29,320
Speaker 1: to be the kind of the bigger postcards. Yes, this

613
00:27:29,520 --> 00:27:32,359
Speaker 1: kind of stand out and really pop as far as color.

622
00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:54,679
Speaker 2: a whole subdivisions that their power goes out a lot and.

623
00:27:54,720 --> 00:27:56,760
Speaker 3: There, and they need those generators.

624
00:27:56,800 --> 00:27:59,879
Speaker 1: There goes the idea the door hangers exactly right, and

625
00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:04,560
Speaker 1: we could mail the doorhangers. But Chuck who Chuck Smith,

626
00:28:04,560 --> 00:28:07,400
Speaker 1: who's the owner, is like, look, we want to pick

627
00:28:07,440 --> 00:28:11,280
Speaker 1: different subdivisions a zip coach and we put one here,

628
00:28:11,359 --> 00:28:14,040
Speaker 1: but there's one hundred other houses that are going to

629
00:28:14,119 --> 00:28:16,479
Speaker 1: come over and ask, hey, where'd you get the generator? Well,

630
00:28:16,560 --> 00:28:19,440
Speaker 1: let's put these doorhanngers on and to find a group

631
00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:21,640
Speaker 1: of people to hang those for us. Let's been the.

632
00:28:21,560 --> 00:28:24,520
Speaker 2: Difficult partner company will actually they'll mail them direct right.

633
00:28:24,920 --> 00:28:28,119
Speaker 3: Well, see the key is he's thinking doorhangers.

634
00:28:28,119 --> 00:28:30,719
Speaker 4: But see where my mind goes is something that's going

635
00:28:30,760 --> 00:28:31,600
Speaker 4: to catch people's eyes.

636
00:28:31,640 --> 00:28:33,600
Speaker 3: So yes, he could try to put a doorhanger on

637
00:28:33,680 --> 00:28:34,040
Speaker 3: every door.

638
00:28:34,119 --> 00:28:36,720
Speaker 4: But what if you send something that pops that is

639
00:28:36,760 --> 00:28:37,520
Speaker 4: not the usual.

640
00:28:37,920 --> 00:28:39,280
Speaker 3: There's like print where.

641
00:28:39,120 --> 00:28:42,040
Speaker 4: It's it's got tactical, so it could be soft, it

642
00:28:42,040 --> 00:28:43,200
Speaker 4: could be embossed, it could be this.

643
00:28:43,440 --> 00:28:45,280
Speaker 3: Things that are going to bring print to life.

644
00:28:45,760 --> 00:28:47,800
Speaker 1: Angela Allen, if I had asked you when you were

645
00:28:47,840 --> 00:28:50,520
Speaker 1: a junior or senior at Rufus King. If I said, Hey,

646
00:28:50,600 --> 00:28:53,080
Speaker 1: years from now, we're going man a radio show and

647
00:28:53,120 --> 00:28:55,640
Speaker 1: you're gonna be the owner of a company called minimum Press,

648
00:28:55,680 --> 00:28:59,520
Speaker 1: and you can just start to talk about different how

649
00:28:59,520 --> 00:29:01,720
Speaker 1: it popped in the mailbox.

650
00:29:01,160 --> 00:29:04,840
Speaker 2: And enthusiasm after nine year hiasm.

651
00:29:05,360 --> 00:29:07,240
Speaker 4: I would have there would have been no way I

652
00:29:07,240 --> 00:29:08,600
Speaker 4: would have thought I would be here today.

653
00:29:08,720 --> 00:29:09,320
Speaker 1: What did you do?

654
00:29:09,440 --> 00:29:10,000
Speaker 3: What I'm doing?

655
00:29:10,040 --> 00:29:12,560
Speaker 1: What did you think when when you were at at

656
00:29:12,640 --> 00:29:15,080
Speaker 1: rufus King, What did you think your future looked like

657
00:29:15,120 --> 00:29:15,680
Speaker 1: at that point?

658
00:29:15,760 --> 00:29:17,920
Speaker 4: Actually, I thought I was going to be in computer

659
00:29:18,040 --> 00:29:21,240
Speaker 4: science doing programming. Really, I was at Rufus King and

660
00:29:21,640 --> 00:29:23,640
Speaker 4: like junior yearyear, Wow, yeah.

661
00:29:23,520 --> 00:29:24,840
Speaker 3: Because I did. I did.

662
00:29:24,880 --> 00:29:27,240
Speaker 4: I like mass, I love maths, and I do get

663
00:29:27,240 --> 00:29:29,480
Speaker 4: to use MASS a lot actually in my business now,

664
00:29:29,840 --> 00:29:31,560
Speaker 4: you know when we do quoting and that sort of thing.

665
00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:35,080
Speaker 4: But I also, you know, I like people and I

666
00:29:35,120 --> 00:29:37,040
Speaker 4: and I was good in science, you know, So I

667
00:29:37,120 --> 00:29:38,920
Speaker 4: just kind of thought that was the path.

668
00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:41,560
Speaker 3: I had people in my family, like uncle that.

669
00:29:41,760 --> 00:29:44,480
Speaker 4: Wasn't he had a business and it was in computers.

670
00:29:44,480 --> 00:29:46,880
Speaker 4: And I had a sister that worked at a college,

671
00:29:46,920 --> 00:29:48,400
Speaker 4: and so I kind of thought that was going to

672
00:29:48,440 --> 00:29:50,560
Speaker 4: be my path, but that wasn't it for me.

673
00:29:50,640 --> 00:29:52,240
Speaker 1: Can you imagine if I said you might be the

674
00:29:52,280 --> 00:29:55,400
Speaker 1: first lady of Waukesha when you heard junior in high

675
00:29:55,400 --> 00:29:59,160
Speaker 1: school like, excuse me, there's a chance show I love that?

676
00:29:59,240 --> 00:30:02,000
Speaker 1: How did if I can kind of get away from

677
00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:06,520
Speaker 1: minute man for a second. The the the idea for

678
00:30:06,560 --> 00:30:11,200
Speaker 1: Scott to run for mayor of of Wakshaw. Was that

679
00:30:11,560 --> 00:30:14,680
Speaker 1: a family decision because that's a big step. And look,

680
00:30:14,720 --> 00:30:17,120
Speaker 1: he's been in politics now for a while, but to

681
00:30:17,440 --> 00:30:19,840
Speaker 1: be the mayor and now you're the top dog? Was

682
00:30:19,880 --> 00:30:22,560
Speaker 1: that an easy decision for you guys as a family.

683
00:30:22,960 --> 00:30:26,560
Speaker 4: He is very prayerful, so and everything that he does,

684
00:30:26,640 --> 00:30:28,840
Speaker 4: I mean, even the current office that he is in,

685
00:30:29,760 --> 00:30:32,520
Speaker 4: he does believe God called him to serve in that

686
00:30:32,960 --> 00:30:34,880
Speaker 4: and that is that was for the city of walk Shop,

687
00:30:34,880 --> 00:30:37,240
Speaker 4: but it was also initially when he first got his

688
00:30:38,640 --> 00:30:42,120
Speaker 4: assembly seat. It also covers some of Genesee, some of

689
00:30:42,160 --> 00:30:45,560
Speaker 4: the Iguanago, so some other areas. But he did feel

690
00:30:45,600 --> 00:30:47,720
Speaker 4: that he was called to serve because there were certain

691
00:30:47,720 --> 00:30:50,360
Speaker 4: things that needed to happen in you know, in the area,

692
00:30:50,680 --> 00:30:53,360
Speaker 4: and he believed in kind of standing firm and trying

693
00:30:53,400 --> 00:30:55,760
Speaker 4: to make those things help those things get passed, bills

694
00:30:55,760 --> 00:30:58,680
Speaker 4: to get passed. But this this came around more so

695
00:30:58,760 --> 00:31:03,280
Speaker 4: because people, person after person after person help approaching him

696
00:31:03,360 --> 00:31:06,080
Speaker 4: and they're like, you need to run for mayor of

697
00:31:06,120 --> 00:31:06,640
Speaker 4: walk Shot.

698
00:31:06,760 --> 00:31:08,120
Speaker 3: You need to run for mayor walk Shot.

699
00:31:08,280 --> 00:31:10,960
Speaker 4: And it was not necessarily on his radar, but then

700
00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:13,520
Speaker 4: he did pray about it, and he's like, okay, you know,

701
00:31:13,600 --> 00:31:17,200
Speaker 4: I've been in my currency going on twelve years, and

702
00:31:17,280 --> 00:31:19,880
Speaker 4: he doesn't believe that he should be there forever. So

703
00:31:20,120 --> 00:31:22,640
Speaker 4: you know, there are ways that he's gonna grow. But

704
00:31:22,680 --> 00:31:26,840
Speaker 4: he's always loved to serve. He was in fourth grade,

705
00:31:26,880 --> 00:31:30,080
Speaker 4: he got his teacher to have let them have an

706
00:31:30,120 --> 00:31:32,960
Speaker 4: election for president of the fourth grade, so he did

707
00:31:33,840 --> 00:31:34,160
Speaker 4: so he.

708
00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:36,000
Speaker 3: And he won that election.

709
00:31:36,280 --> 00:31:39,240
Speaker 4: No, And then in twelfth grade he was senior class president.

710
00:31:39,400 --> 00:31:41,800
Speaker 4: So he's always had this love of like helping people

711
00:31:41,800 --> 00:31:44,719
Speaker 4: and serving even when he was younger. But people started

712
00:31:44,720 --> 00:31:46,880
Speaker 4: to come to him and ask him to run to

713
00:31:46,920 --> 00:31:47,960
Speaker 4: be mayor of Waukeshat.

714
00:31:48,040 --> 00:31:50,080
Speaker 1: You went to Kenilmar in high school, so he's been

715
00:31:50,120 --> 00:31:53,600
Speaker 1: in this area first a long time. He's a laser,

716
00:31:53,800 --> 00:31:57,280
Speaker 1: I mean laser and a general general here we were

717
00:31:57,320 --> 00:32:00,800
Speaker 1: coming together. Who knew I and I love that. Hey,

718
00:32:00,840 --> 00:32:05,560
Speaker 1: when when when you're in a company like minut Men Prush,

719
00:32:05,840 --> 00:32:09,640
Speaker 1: there is a lot of competition for you. How is

720
00:32:09,880 --> 00:32:13,320
Speaker 1: how do you guys get yourself to stand apart from

721
00:32:13,440 --> 00:32:16,920
Speaker 1: some of the people you compete with? And I'm waiting

722
00:32:16,960 --> 00:32:19,240
Speaker 1: for your answer because I want to answer for you

723
00:32:19,280 --> 00:32:21,160
Speaker 1: because I've known you for twenty minutes and I think

724
00:32:21,200 --> 00:32:23,200
Speaker 1: I know the answer. But what would your answer be?

725
00:32:23,440 --> 00:32:26,480
Speaker 4: Well, I would say, first of all, we love people

726
00:32:26,840 --> 00:32:29,080
Speaker 4: and we believe that when we work with people, we're

727
00:32:29,080 --> 00:32:31,000
Speaker 4: not just like doing it for a job. We become

728
00:32:31,120 --> 00:32:32,920
Speaker 4: like part of your family. I like to say we

729
00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:34,800
Speaker 4: become part of your family. And some people may think

730
00:32:34,840 --> 00:32:38,240
Speaker 4: that's cliche, but literally that's how I feel, because it's

731
00:32:38,240 --> 00:32:41,160
Speaker 4: like we want to work with you, walk alongside you.

732
00:32:41,600 --> 00:32:43,960
Speaker 4: We also want to like anything that we would do

733
00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:46,040
Speaker 4: for ourselves, we would do for you. So it's like

734
00:32:46,120 --> 00:32:49,000
Speaker 4: everybody from the smallest job is important to the largest

735
00:32:49,040 --> 00:32:51,560
Speaker 4: job is important. People are people and they all deserve

736
00:32:51,600 --> 00:32:52,000
Speaker 4: to have that.

737
00:32:52,160 --> 00:32:54,920
Speaker 2: I understand that because that's a you know, in our company,

738
00:32:54,960 --> 00:32:56,880
Speaker 2: you know, we when we work on people's houses, so

739
00:32:56,960 --> 00:32:59,400
Speaker 2: we become friends, right, you know, we can invite the

740
00:32:59,440 --> 00:33:02,040
Speaker 2: parties up. You know, we just had another customer just

741
00:33:02,040 --> 00:33:03,680
Speaker 2: lost you know, just lost or sign, you know. And

742
00:33:03,720 --> 00:33:06,120
Speaker 2: then we send flowers because we're we've been working for

743
00:33:06,160 --> 00:33:09,000
Speaker 2: them for three generations with that same family. And then

744
00:33:09,280 --> 00:33:11,240
Speaker 2: and it happens a lot that you know, you get

745
00:33:11,280 --> 00:33:14,120
Speaker 2: invited to stuff and you get Christmas cards. The majority

746
00:33:14,120 --> 00:33:16,560
Speaker 2: of our Christmas cards are from customers, more Christmas cards

747
00:33:16,600 --> 00:33:19,400
Speaker 2: from customers from family than we do for family members.

748
00:33:19,640 --> 00:33:22,080
Speaker 1: And I would you know what if I was going

749
00:33:22,160 --> 00:33:26,600
Speaker 1: to answer it that way, where like I think once

750
00:33:26,880 --> 00:33:29,760
Speaker 1: I start doing business with you, I think I'm always

751
00:33:29,800 --> 00:33:31,760
Speaker 1: going to do business with you because I feel like

752
00:33:31,800 --> 00:33:34,000
Speaker 1: I would trust you that the job is going to

753
00:33:34,040 --> 00:33:37,200
Speaker 1: get done on time at the price that we talked about.

754
00:33:37,560 --> 00:33:39,720
Speaker 1: And if it's not that you would fix it absolutely.

755
00:33:39,760 --> 00:33:42,479
Speaker 1: And I think that that's important because now it's just

756
00:33:42,680 --> 00:33:46,240
Speaker 1: I'm not just doing business with you. We've become partners, exactly,

757
00:33:46,280 --> 00:33:49,120
Speaker 1: And that's a there's a big difference between me doing

758
00:33:49,160 --> 00:33:51,040
Speaker 1: a little bit of business with you and you become

759
00:33:51,080 --> 00:33:54,560
Speaker 1: a partner with me in my business, right because now

760
00:33:54,600 --> 00:33:56,880
Speaker 1: you're looking out for me, and I think that that

761
00:33:57,480 --> 00:34:00,680
Speaker 1: is what sets you apart from some of the other

762
00:34:01,360 --> 00:34:04,080
Speaker 1: from your competitors. Look, when I moved out to Milwaukee,

763
00:34:04,600 --> 00:34:07,560
Speaker 1: I didn't know the area, and I mean we're on

764
00:34:07,640 --> 00:34:09,719
Speaker 1: eighty eeth in Townshends, So I kind of knew for

765
00:34:09,760 --> 00:34:12,080
Speaker 1: thirty some years. And then I moved out here and

766
00:34:12,120 --> 00:34:15,320
Speaker 1: I needed I started the McGivern Agency, and I needed

767
00:34:15,320 --> 00:34:17,560
Speaker 1: a company to do some mailers or to do some

768
00:34:17,680 --> 00:34:21,080
Speaker 1: printing for me. And I didn't. And I have somebody

769
00:34:21,160 --> 00:34:23,399
Speaker 1: out there and I won't name them, but I've used

770
00:34:23,440 --> 00:34:26,440
Speaker 1: them a lot, and exactly, but it's always somebody different

771
00:34:26,640 --> 00:34:29,560
Speaker 1: who doesn't know who I am and and and has

772
00:34:29,640 --> 00:34:33,000
Speaker 1: no recommendations for me. Hey, why don't you try this?

773
00:34:33,400 --> 00:34:36,520
Speaker 1: And so I've used them, but it's always somebody different

774
00:34:37,280 --> 00:34:40,400
Speaker 1: that I see there, and and it's always like, okay,

775
00:34:40,440 --> 00:34:42,879
Speaker 1: have you done business with us before? I'm sorry? What's

776
00:34:42,880 --> 00:34:46,439
Speaker 1: your name? And I would love I'm not too far

00:38:39,080 --> 00:38:43,600
Speaker 1: the break that some of the issues you have are

858
00:38:43,719 --> 00:38:45,960
Speaker 1: very similar to some of the issues that people are

859
00:38:46,480 --> 00:38:48,680
Speaker 1: in the in the industry that bing goes in, and

860
00:38:48,719 --> 00:38:51,200
Speaker 1: that is people never want to be one hundred percent

861
00:38:51,320 --> 00:38:55,319
Speaker 1: up front with budget and we have to we have

862
00:38:55,400 --> 00:38:58,560
Speaker 1: to get through that, right, We have to understand that. Look,

863
00:38:58,600 --> 00:39:01,000
Speaker 1: if you have three thousand dollar to spend, don't tell

864
00:39:01,040 --> 00:39:02,240
Speaker 1: angel at fifteen hundred.

865
00:39:02,360 --> 00:39:05,360
Speaker 2: It's also like alternatives too. People say like, hey, I

866
00:39:05,360 --> 00:39:07,480
Speaker 2: want it, I want I want this, this countertop, this

867
00:39:07,560 --> 00:39:09,680
Speaker 2: thing like we did. We did a bathroom, right, you

868
00:39:09,719 --> 00:39:11,839
Speaker 2: know the bathtub is this bathtub? We want a black

869
00:39:11,840 --> 00:39:15,440
Speaker 2: onyx bathtub. That's eighty thousand dollars before we get hooked up,

870
00:39:15,560 --> 00:39:19,280
Speaker 2: right and he says, well, what are you talking about?

871
00:39:19,360 --> 00:39:21,719
Speaker 2: But anyways, and just say like all right, but you

872
00:39:21,719 --> 00:39:23,719
Speaker 2: can get out. You can get a knockoff version for

873
00:39:23,840 --> 00:39:26,960
Speaker 2: a fraction of that, right, right, And and then just say, well,

874
00:39:26,960 --> 00:39:28,880
Speaker 2: you know you're by you two hundred thousand dollars for

875
00:39:28,880 --> 00:39:31,200
Speaker 2: our bathroom is crazy, right, So then you say, you know,

876
00:39:31,280 --> 00:39:33,160
Speaker 2: there's what you do and it's not just said. It's

877
00:39:33,160 --> 00:39:34,680
Speaker 2: a lot of things too. You get a countertop, right,

878
00:39:34,719 --> 00:39:37,319
Speaker 2: you know, one countertop could be sixteen thousand dollars. You

879
00:39:37,320 --> 00:39:39,040
Speaker 2: can get our countertop for two thousand dollars.

880
00:39:39,160 --> 00:39:39,800
Speaker 1: Big difference.

881
00:39:39,840 --> 00:39:42,640
Speaker 2: And you can look they can look almost identical. But

882
00:39:42,760 --> 00:39:44,479
Speaker 2: sometimes you pay a lot for the brands and names

883
00:39:44,480 --> 00:39:46,480
Speaker 2: and stuff. And my point is is when you when

884
00:39:46,520 --> 00:39:48,040
Speaker 2: you go up to a print shop and said I

885
00:39:48,080 --> 00:39:50,719
Speaker 2: want I want to do exactly this, she'll say, okay,

886
00:39:50,760 --> 00:39:53,600
Speaker 2: it costs as much you see and this wall as

887
00:39:53,760 --> 00:39:55,840
Speaker 2: is too much. But yeah, but if you but if you,

888
00:39:55,920 --> 00:39:57,799
Speaker 2: if we're willing to go this way, you can get

889
00:39:57,840 --> 00:39:58,080
Speaker 2: all this.

890
00:39:58,320 --> 00:40:01,200
Speaker 1: If you change the if you change the paper, change

891
00:40:01,200 --> 00:40:03,280
Speaker 1: the size of it exactly.

892
00:40:03,360 --> 00:40:05,080
Speaker 4: There's a lot of things that we and we're the

893
00:40:05,280 --> 00:40:08,040
Speaker 4: experts and we're here to help, right. So it's like

894
00:40:08,080 --> 00:40:09,959
Speaker 4: if you come to us and you're like, I want

895
00:40:10,000 --> 00:40:12,240
Speaker 4: full color on both sides, and I want to bleed

896
00:40:12,280 --> 00:40:14,880
Speaker 4: and I want this special paper that's soft and like

897
00:40:14,960 --> 00:40:17,560
Speaker 4: suede filling and this and that, and then you get

898
00:40:17,560 --> 00:40:19,000
Speaker 4: the price and you're like, well, I don't want to

899
00:40:19,080 --> 00:40:20,760
Speaker 4: pay that or I don't have that in my budget.

900
00:40:21,440 --> 00:40:23,319
Speaker 4: We just need to know that so that we can

901
00:40:23,320 --> 00:40:25,640
Speaker 4: then do some research and come back and say, well, hey,

902
00:40:25,680 --> 00:40:27,120
Speaker 4: you can do something very similar.

903
00:40:27,160 --> 00:40:30,200
Speaker 3: It'll still look nice, it'll look sharp, but we can

904
00:40:30,239 --> 00:40:30,879
Speaker 3: do it this way.

905
00:40:31,120 --> 00:40:34,319
Speaker 1: And what I loved about what you said during the

906
00:40:34,360 --> 00:40:36,719
Speaker 1: break is I want to be able to have the

907
00:40:36,800 --> 00:40:39,759
Speaker 1: opportunity to tell people, don't let budgets stand in the way,

908
00:40:39,960 --> 00:40:42,480
Speaker 1: but be honest with your budget. And I think that

909
00:40:42,480 --> 00:40:45,920
Speaker 1: that because they tell you they have three thousand dollars

910
00:40:45,960 --> 00:40:48,719
Speaker 1: in a budget doesn't mean you're going to spend exactly

911
00:40:49,280 --> 00:40:51,560
Speaker 1: all of it. Look, if you can get get it

912
00:40:51,600 --> 00:40:55,560
Speaker 1: done for two thousand to the satisfaction and know what's

913
00:40:55,600 --> 00:40:58,480
Speaker 1: going to work, you will be honest and tell people that.

914
00:40:58,960 --> 00:41:02,239
Speaker 1: I just think in all of our businesses it's important

915
00:41:02,560 --> 00:41:04,760
Speaker 1: that you should be able to be honest with people

916
00:41:04,800 --> 00:41:08,400
Speaker 1: and say, Okay, here's here's what I have put aside

917
00:41:08,400 --> 00:41:11,239
Speaker 1: for this. Don't spend it all if you don't need to,

918
00:41:11,360 --> 00:41:12,959
Speaker 1: but let's make sure this thing works.

919
00:41:12,960 --> 00:41:15,000
Speaker 4: And sometimes people don't even want to tell you a budget.

920
00:41:15,000 --> 00:41:17,319
Speaker 4: They're like, oh, if I tell them a budget, then

921
00:41:17,360 --> 00:41:19,279
Speaker 4: they know what I can spend. It's like, no, but

922
00:41:19,320 --> 00:41:20,399
Speaker 4: then we know that I don't.

923
00:41:20,480 --> 00:41:22,319
Speaker 2: You're not all the frills if you possibly can they

924
00:41:22,320 --> 00:41:22,520
Speaker 2: get that.

925
00:41:22,600 --> 00:41:25,000
Speaker 4: It's like, but then I won't quote to you, like

926
00:41:25,080 --> 00:41:27,359
Speaker 4: something that I know is outside of your budget, right,

927
00:41:27,560 --> 00:41:30,160
Speaker 4: It's it just it lessens the time and gets you what.

928
00:41:30,040 --> 00:41:31,080
Speaker 3: You need quicker.

929
00:41:31,840 --> 00:41:34,799
Speaker 1: Hey, how much easier is it now than when you

930
00:41:34,920 --> 00:41:38,160
Speaker 1: started to be able to like get you the artwork?

931
00:41:38,400 --> 00:41:41,279
Speaker 1: And yeah, I remember back in the day to get

932
00:41:41,320 --> 00:41:44,040
Speaker 1: some of the artwork was just hard. It was pay Now.

933
00:41:44,320 --> 00:41:46,799
Speaker 4: Now we have some other challenges though, because some of

934
00:41:46,840 --> 00:41:50,399
Speaker 4: the digital artwork platforms that people are starting using. People

935
00:41:50,440 --> 00:41:53,080
Speaker 4: are starting to try to design with AI already, which

936
00:41:53,120 --> 00:41:55,960
Speaker 4: is look crazy and they don't realize they're talking to AI.

937
00:41:56,040 --> 00:42:00,279
Speaker 4: They're designing something, but that doesn't equate to printing it, right,

938
00:42:00,360 --> 00:42:02,799
Speaker 4: there is no file with like an AI. Like you

939
00:42:02,800 --> 00:42:04,640
Speaker 4: could tell AI to do something and you can use

940
00:42:04,680 --> 00:42:07,480
Speaker 4: it digitally, but if you want to then print that,

941
00:42:07,719 --> 00:42:10,760
Speaker 4: it's like there's no Adobe in design or a photo

942
00:42:10,840 --> 00:42:14,399
Speaker 4: shoot or photoshop or jen it's like you need a file.

943
00:42:14,480 --> 00:42:17,520
Speaker 4: So we've been already dealing with that, trying to get

944
00:42:17,520 --> 00:42:18,440
Speaker 4: people to understand.

945
00:42:18,840 --> 00:42:20,480
Speaker 2: I mean, I can't believe our logo has been around

946
00:42:20,520 --> 00:42:22,360
Speaker 2: since the eighties and if we have a file for

947
00:42:22,400 --> 00:42:24,239
Speaker 2: people say, can you send me your file for your logo?

948
00:42:24,480 --> 00:42:24,719
Speaker 1: Yes?

949
00:42:24,920 --> 00:42:27,680
Speaker 2: And that's so I mean, but so well, you're going

950
00:42:27,760 --> 00:42:31,080
Speaker 2: to guys buy a new company, given agency, right then

951
00:42:31,080 --> 00:42:32,719
Speaker 2: you make a file for them so that they can

952
00:42:32,800 --> 00:42:33,240
Speaker 2: use forever.

953
00:42:33,400 --> 00:42:37,080
Speaker 3: Absolutely, we have two full time somebody designers, tea.

954
00:42:37,320 --> 00:42:39,359
Speaker 1: How many employees do you have and minimum.

955
00:42:39,080 --> 00:42:41,359
Speaker 3: Pressure full time and four part time.

956
00:42:41,400 --> 00:42:43,799
Speaker 4: When we bought the business, there was the owner and

957
00:42:43,960 --> 00:42:44,759
Speaker 4: three full time.

958
00:42:45,680 --> 00:42:49,520
Speaker 1: Pray Scott Yeah, that well. I had a guy sitting

959
00:42:49,560 --> 00:42:53,000
Speaker 1: where you're sitting in the other studio and his company

960
00:42:53,080 --> 00:42:56,120
Speaker 1: went from you know, four or five employees to like ten.

961
00:42:56,719 --> 00:42:58,799
Speaker 1: And he said, you know, I'm not making any more

962
00:42:58,840 --> 00:43:00,960
Speaker 1: money than I did when I had five, but I

963
00:43:01,000 --> 00:43:03,600
Speaker 1: have more sleepless nights because I have now ten families

964
00:43:03,920 --> 00:43:06,719
Speaker 1: that I have to make sure that we have enough

965
00:43:06,800 --> 00:43:11,160
Speaker 1: work to feed these families. You're comfortable. You have grown

966
00:43:11,200 --> 00:43:13,239
Speaker 1: at a really nice pace, right right.

967
00:43:13,280 --> 00:43:14,400
Speaker 3: It has been really nice.

968
00:43:14,440 --> 00:43:16,319
Speaker 4: It hasn't been, you know, where we're all of a

969
00:43:16,320 --> 00:43:19,680
Speaker 4: sudden strapped or anything like that where we grow too fast.

970
00:43:19,880 --> 00:43:22,120
Speaker 4: But I do agree with him in the sense that

971
00:43:22,200 --> 00:43:24,839
Speaker 4: it is a responsibility, but that also is I love

972
00:43:24,880 --> 00:43:27,279
Speaker 4: it because I think small companies make up so much

973
00:43:27,320 --> 00:43:30,440
Speaker 4: of the United States and work for people that live

974
00:43:30,440 --> 00:43:32,040
Speaker 4: in the United States, and I think it's important.

975
00:43:32,120 --> 00:43:34,920
Speaker 1: Hey, do you compete with the other minutemen people or

976
00:43:34,920 --> 00:43:38,600
Speaker 1: are you kind of like, well, yeah, I mean there's

977
00:43:38,640 --> 00:43:43,640
Speaker 1: no selected territories, right, so if somebody from if there's

978
00:43:43,680 --> 00:43:46,520
Speaker 1: a Minutemen in Franklin, but if they want to work

979
00:43:46,560 --> 00:43:49,880
Speaker 1: with you, they can work with you. They can do

980
00:43:49,920 --> 00:43:52,360
Speaker 1: you guys get together. Do you know the other owners?

981
00:43:52,800 --> 00:43:55,080
Speaker 4: I do know the other owners, and like I can

982
00:43:55,120 --> 00:43:57,680
Speaker 4: call them, they can call us sometimes we might like

983
00:43:57,680 --> 00:43:59,960
Speaker 4: if there's an equipment issue or like let's say somebody

984
00:44:00,080 --> 00:44:01,920
Speaker 4: has a piece of equipment that goes down and they

985
00:44:01,920 --> 00:44:04,359
Speaker 4: have to get something done for a customer. There are

986
00:44:04,719 --> 00:44:06,480
Speaker 4: shops that I can call and say, hey, can I

987
00:44:06,560 --> 00:44:10,400
Speaker 4: come bring this over? Or other mini man press companies

988

989
00:44:12,480 --> 00:44:13,359
Speaker 4: We'll help each other out.

990
00:44:13,400 --> 00:44:15,279
Speaker 3: That sort of thing. But we respect each other.

991
00:44:15,360 --> 00:44:19,279
Speaker 4: Like I don't market in Franklin, you know, and they

992
